Need a pinpointer which one is the best

Hi I need a pinpointer which is the best one?

 

[Old Katz]

Whats is good but Garretts is much better for a hand held pin pointer.
Garrett lists them for $149 but almost everyone sells them for $127.
My opinion.

You can't do any better than a DX-1 thats set up to stay attached to your detector, easy to use and no chance that you'll leave it on the ground.
All the folks that use'em swear by them. I have had 1 for a good while and it's the best help I have. It may cost a little more than the hand held but worth every cent.
JMHO. Good luck on whatever you choose and HH KC

floridason retired
MXT and PRO lotsa coils

Everything Floridason said goes for me too. Also,..no extra batteries, works off the detectors power. AND, if you are digging a deep or tricky target, the pinpoint trigger will boost the probes field and help you target in the hole. That has helped me a lot on difficult pinpoints. The DX-1 is worth the extra bucks
if it's in your budget.

katz & floridason answered your question perfectly. For a portable, hand-held pinpointer, the Garrett ProPointer is a GREAT tool. For a little bit more money and a little extra weight though, the Sun Ray inline probes are as good as it gets...hands down. Good luck.

Sunray's DX-1. Larry sells a lot of them. I need not say anymore. HH, Nancy

Sunray DX1 probe is the best in my opinion! For a handheld, I have tried 4 brands and think the garret is best for that.

Yep, Everything everyone else said.......... DX-1 without any hesitation !!!!! CCH

I've not used the DX-1, but I do use the Garrett Pro pointer and it is great.

I sold my DX-1. It was not sensitive enough to pick up small nuggets. The Garrett Pro pinpoiter will and is far superior to the DX-1 and makes the MXT lighter. I also use the probe with my TDI for coin shooting and, again, it far exceeds the Sunray DX-1 that I was using for the last 2 years for deprth and sensitivity.

Knowing that you posted on a Whites forum I will simply say - Whites can learn from the much better automatic adjusting pinpointer that is made in Texas. When posting questions like this it's a lot better to post them on the general forum.

Sunray DX1 probe no doubt.

I like the dx-1
